Senior Class History We entered our Freshman year in 1934 as hardworking, industrious kids, but perhaps a little green. We chose as officers: Ruben Grant, President; Beryl Howell, Vice President; and Don Day, Secretary-Treasurer. Our first year was uneventful except for the splendid sponsors, Miss Main and Mr. Morton, who guided us carefully through our hardest year. Upon entering our second year of this glorious adventure, we were highly cultivated Sophomores, striving in every way possible to do as we thought best. Our officers were: Dave Miller, President; Velma Cobb, Vice President; and Janet Downend, Secretary-Treasurer. We proved our superiority over all classes by winning the ticket sale for the Tolo Carnival, thus winning the privilege of choosing the Tolo King and Queen, Bob Shinn and Velma Cobb. We received first prize, $2.00, for the best Tolo Stunt. With Miss Main and Mr. Metzger as our sponsors and Dave Miller as dancer how could we have failed ? This year, Martha Johnson brought honor to our class in the speech contest by placing second at Aledo, fifth in the District at Macomb, and first in the County. Summer vacation skipped by quickly and in the fall of '36 we entered perhaps the greatest years of our school career. Again highly soaring above all others, we came through victorious in the ticket sale for the Tolo Carnival. Raymond Cupie” Howell and Lucy Heaton were chosen as our King and Queen. This year we won second prize of $1.00 for the Tolo Stunt. One of the special events of the year was the Junior-Senior Reception, sponsored by the Juniors. The theme, carried out in green and white, was a circus. After an elaborate dinner, dancing became the entertainment of the evening. Our class sponsors, Miss Main, Miss Chase, and Mr. Metzger helped in ever)' way. Our first experience as actors came when the Junior Class play entitled Miss Jimmy” was given to a responsive audience. Our class officers were: Elaine Armstrong, President; Janet Downend, Vice President; Velma Cobb, Secretary; and Janet Armstrong, Treasurer. We were very sorry to lose Hazel Stambaugh during the year because of her illness, and join in wishing her a speedy recovery. We entered the final lap of our journey in ’37. The Seniors sponsored the play Where There’s A Will” with Miss Butcher as director. It was our pleasure to be the guest at the annual Prom given to the Seniors by the Juniors. Velma Cobb was elected into the office of President; with Ruth Shearer, Vice President; Janet Downend, Secretary; and Martha Johnson, Treasurer. This year it was our good fortune to sponsor the annual Tolo.” Our sponsors, Miss Main, Miss Fisher, and Mr. Earles, did their part in making it a perfect year. —Janet Armstrong — Helen Goodwin Class Colors Bine and White • Class Flower Red Carnation Class Motto Can Your Can'Is fO m
